Late Halloween post

This year for Halloween Natalie and Naomi both wanted to be princesses, and Emma wanted to be a witch. Naomi dressed herself, and wouldn't let me pick out her outfit, but she was a cutie anyway. And Briallen was a little Teddy Bear, but every time I turned around there were parts of her bear costume spread out all over, so she wasn't into the dressing up this year! We took the kids to the mall and trick or treated there where it was warm, and then we came home. It was a lot of fun.

Fun times with cousins!!!

Yesterday Katie's kids got to come over and play. They had so much fun together, and they were all so good!!! They decided to play dress-up, and be princesses...... and a bear. :) I'm glad they got to spend some time with us!

Picture Day

The other day was picture day at school for Emma. Since I couldn't afford the school's pictures, and I don't really care for them much anyway, I got all the kids ready and we had our own picture day.

Emma and Natalie love doing a "funny face" picture

Briallen was so fun to photograph

These two are such good friends, I am so glad

Naomi insisted on having the map in the picture with her!

and Briallen.

It was so much fun taking their pictures. They are growing so fast, and I want to keep these memories of them. I don't know what I would do without my girls!!!

A fun-filled, crazy weekend!

This weekend was Bailey and Josh's wedding. I can't believe how fast time flies!! It was such a great weekend. Bailey looked so beautiful, and Josh couldn't keep the smile off of his face. He is going to be a great addition to our family... A few of these pictures are in the wrong order:

This is all the grandkids that were at the temple.
These are my two beautiful Grandmas: Grandma Bundy and Grandma Turner. I love getting to spend time with them and learn from them. It was so good to see them both. I love my grandmas!!

All of the grandkids rushed up to them as soon as they walked out of the temple. It was so cute. These are Mel and Brianna's girls.

This is the Daddy daughter dance

and I don't know why I am putting this cheesy picture of me on here, but all the kids' faces looked like Briallen's. They all enjoyed the refreshments!

The fun thing about Bundy receptions, is they are so relaxed. Everyone goes there to dance and visit and have a good time. And everyone stays the whole time too. It was a lot of fun to dance with all of the family again!

On Saturday, Dave and Marylynn baptized Brett. Molly and John also blessed Ella, and Ryan and Angie blessed Chloe. I love all of the family get-togethers. It was a lot of fun getting to see everyone, and having all those ordinances performed in one weekend.

23 weeks

Do you know when you are pregnant, and you all the sudden get bigger over night? The other night I went to bed and my garments totally covered my tummy. When I woke up, they were up to my belly button! I am getting bigger and bigger every day. Sometimes I feel like I am not getting that big this time, but then I see people I know that are due any day, and they look about like I do now. Crazy stuff!!

Just a few pictures...

Here are some pictures that I took the other day because we all had our hair done! I really enjoy my girls, they make me so happy!

Play-Dough Hawaii

Today, while I was getting Briallen to sleep, I let the girls play with play dough. This is what they created: They said "Look, Mom! It's Hawaii!!"
Natalie made these: A girl laying out in the water, and some coconut trees (it's kinda blurry).

And Emma made these: Some banana trees, a girl laying out in the water, and a car.

I don't think I was ever that creative when I was thier age! They have never even seen Hawaii, but I think they did a pretty good job guessing what it would be like. I love the little things kids do.

And our baby is a.......

GIRL!!!! An adorable, precious, perfect little girl. The ultrasound was the best one I have ever had, and I could see everything about her. I didn't really want to find out, but Randy and all the kids had different ideas, so we did, and I am glad. She is so precious, and we are so excited to bring her into our home full of beautiful little girls!!!

Emma is old enough for school already!!!

I can't believe how fast time flies!! My baby is in school, it's so crazy. It's all a new experience for us, but she absolutely loves her teacher, and the new friends she has made. It has been really good for all of us.

She is such a poser. She had me take so many different poses of her....haha, I love her!

Dirty Laundry

The other day while I was doing some daily cleaning, I walked into the Laundry room, and this is what I saw:

A bunch of dirty little rug rats hangin' out in the laudry baskets. Kids are so stinkin' fun, I tell ya! It's moments like these that help you enjoy being a mother.

Our first "bad" accident....

When we were first moving in here, Katie and Shiree came to help me organize a couple rooms, which was WONDERFUL! We all sat down to visit when we were finished, and Natalie was "gracefully" running around the couch. She tripped over....well, nothing really, and her head landed perfectly on a corner of a wall. I am so glad Shiree and Katie were here, because I have never had to deal with anything like this before. She has a gash in her head that was so deep!! Shiree scooped her up and ran her to the kitchen sink, and Katie kept having to tell me to "Calm down, Hanna!" I hurried and grabbed my purse, and asked one of them to come to the emergency with me. Katie held her the whole way, and stayed with me while Natalie got 8 stitches. AHHHH. Anyway, Natalie was fine, she was so tough, and she didn't cry the whole time. Infact, she was so proud of her stitches! I hope incidents like this are few and far between! First, because I am not very good with situations like them, and second, we got the bill, and it is $308!!! That is so expensive!!!

Hare Reunion

Okay, so this post is a mile long, but I had so many pictures to choose from. Last weekend was our Hare reunion. We all got a really late start on the day, but once we got there, we had a lot of fun! Andy was in charge of it this year, so he planned a trip up to Kolob. There was swimming, kayaking, canoeing, and bike riding. Our niece, Shelley, rode with us, and she was a lot of help, I was really grateful for her!

Zolene and Carlene in the canoe:

I just thought I would throw in a picture of my "little" tummy. This is what most of you probably look like at 6 or 7 months! I am 13 weeks in this picture.

Randy tried out the kayak first.

Andy tried it out, and didn't do so good on his first try! I think it was just an excuse to get in the ice cold water.

I think the Rushtons enjoyed the bikes the most

These are recumbent bikes that we own. Randy doesn't ever get a chance to ride it alone because the kids love them so much.

We all had fun, and finished our night off with steaks and games. I love family reunions!!

Moving fun....

I have not updated about 4th of July or anything because we have been moving!!! It is so much work, and exhausting, but I am so excited for our new home. It has a pretty big fenced in back yard that the kids just LOVE, and I think it is going to be a life saver to me. We only moved a few blocks away, so we were able to take a few days to get all of our stuff out, which is nice. I will post a few pictures when we get the internet, and when we get settled in a little better. As for now, we are surrounded by boxes. (how does anyone ever do this)? I don't know where to start!!!! Anyway, until next time, I hope you all are having a wonderful summer!!!
